The defeat Of Ned Hanlan by Teemel
az Toronto In August indicates the ''end OF
the glory" of the doughty champion
He has sustained his record with admirable
phck and success, but the tremendous strain
OF years Of training must certainly some day
find its limit.
Apropos Of this we recall the following in
tertsting reniniscence Of aquatic annals:
On fine, bright day In August 1871, an
excited multitude of IL, 900 to 20 600 persons
lined the shores Of the beautiful Kenebecasss,
near st. John, N. b.. attracted by a four
Dared race between the famous Paris crew Of
that city and picked English crew Tor
$4,000 and TIE championship of the world.
Wallace Ross, the present renowned oars
man, pulled stroke for the Blue Nose crew,
and Jim Renforth, champion sculler and
swimmer of England and Of the world, was
stroke in the English shell.
Excitement was at fever heat.
But three hundred yards of the course had
been covered when the Englishnen noticed
that the rivals We're creeping away.
Give us a dozen, jim" said the veteran
Harry Kelly, ex-champion of England, who
was pulling No. oar.
81 can't boys, I'm DONE said Renforth,
and with these words he fell forward, an in
animate heap in the boat
HE has been poisoned by book makers, >
was the cry, and belief.
Everything that science and skill could
Suggest EOT his ItSJOTaJlOn WAS IEleus Dub
after terrible struggles Of agony, the strong
man, the flower OF the athletes and pride of
his countrymen, passed away.
The stomach was analysed but no sign or
trace of poison could be found therein,
though general examination showed a very
strange condition of the blood and the life
giving and health preserving organs caused
by years Of unwise training. While them
cular development was perfect the hart and
kidneys were badly cougested
The whole system was, therefore, in just
that state when the most simple departure
from ordinary living and exertion was OF
momentous consequence. His wonderful
strength only made his dying paroxysms more
dreadful and the fatality more certain.
Hanlan is now i'll Australia. Beach, cham
pon OF that country, is 4 powerful fellow
who probably understands the Liability OF
athletes to death from over training, the
effect thereof being very serious on the
heart, blood and kidneys, as shown by poor
Renforths sudden death.
Within the past three years he has taken
particular care of himself, and when train
ing. always reinforces the kidneys and pre-
vents blood congestion in them and the con
sequent ill-etTect on the heart by using War
ners safe cure, the sportsmans universal
favorite, and says he sis astonshed at the
great benefit
Harry Wyatt, the celebrated English
trainer Of athletes. who continues himself to
be one of the tinestof specimens of manhood
ami one OF the most successful of trainers,
writes over his own signature TO the English
Sporting Life, September 18th, saying: 81
consider Warmers safe cure invaluable for
all training purposes and outdoor exercise.
! have been in the habit of using it for a long
time. | am satisfied that it pulled me
through when nothing else would, and it is
alwaysa three time winuer!"

sound and should be followed by all
